Finally pulled over!!

[weems84]

After a good 6 month run my controversial yellow hid lights caused me to get pulled over tonight by a Texas state trooper on HWY 6 S. He let me off with a warning because he new they looked odd but didn't know if they were illegal. He said he would "read up on it". He also checked my tint, it was 35%, then let me go. So i'm still gonna keep hid's but switch to a 4300k pure white light bulb.

well he obviously does not know that ALL HID kits are illegal in stock housings no matter what kelvin, and the NHTSA and DOT have been cracking down on the importers and retailers. I won't be suprised when they inform the PDs, and they start popping hoods looking for kits, and reading what bulb should be in there which is on the front of the headlamp.

RETRO FTMFW! Look at my sig! o0o YEAH!

Actually no. He pulled me for tint and lights. Didn't even ask for my license or insurance.

I was goin 50 in a 55 zone. My commute road to and from work, i know they are always there.

it is too bad the yellow bulbs you have are H4, I know of the perfect app. for them for fogs if you wanted to do it, but it won't work with the H4's.

I'm planning on doin that for the fogs but haven't decided if i want to do oem fogs or some aftermarket projector fogs

[Clipsed]

I have some aftermarket projectors that work great with yellow HIDs, but I don't have the yellow bulbs yet. Here is a pic from someone I know with the projectors and a yellow HID bulb in it. .. . .



They are friggin awesome!

I can only imagine how painful it would be to look out the window at those headlights...

Sorry, but THAT much illumination, no matter how well aimed and directed, is going to blind someone at close range. The human eye just doesn't have the capacity to deal with that quick of a change of illumination and just "walk away" like nothing happened.

[Clipsed]

you have to remember that this is close range, and the actual brightness can vary to the perception of the human eye. They are actually very relieving and not strainful. You must remember that yellow is one of the easiest colors to look at when driving.

I've heard that's the case - probably much easier on the eye than white/blueish white.

PS - strainful is still not a word.

Haha, sweet justice! The other day I typed in ain't in a forum response and was surprised to see it wasn't underlined as a misspelled word.
